We know that the US trained Iraqui forces are not worth a thing. They throw down their US supplied weapons and run. Training and arming them is a waste of money.
Don't say a residual US force would have stopped ISIS. That is looking backward. What do we do - looking forward?
Americans, as a whole, are not willing to waste more American soldiers lives or Billions more dollars throwing them down that mid-east rathole.
Concentrate on national security of antiterrorist activities of all kinds.

I didn't run for President, and I didn't convince the majority of electorate that I was up to the task of leading the country. I also don't have the daily intel to made an informed decision. So how can you expect me to come up with the solution to Obama's incompetence?
As I see it, ground troops ground is probably the only solution. How many troops? I have no idea, I am not a strategic planner. But how long does Obama allow this cancer to spread before he takes meaningful action? Surely even he will come to the realization that ground troops are needed, the only question is how long will it take? My guess is he will be out off office before this happens and it will become the next Presidents problem.
Yet, at every opportunity Democrats "look backward" and deamonize President Bush. Why don't they look forward?
